3.3 Crimping Terminals
Before crimping, set the recommended air pressure gauge
to obtain the proper crimp . See Section 2.2 (Adjustments).
1.
Adjust wire stop to position terminal barrel centered on
the Indentor nibs. See Figure 3-.1
2.
Adjust wire stop so conductor is visible beyond
terminal barrel but not so far that it effects use of
terminal.
3.
Position the terminal in the locator as shown in Figure
3-2 and 3-3. Insert the properly stripped wire into the
terminal barrel. The wire ends should butt up against
the wire stop of the locator.
4.
If the terminal is to big or the barrel of the terminal has a closed
end, take off the locators and the wire stop. Position the
terminal in the center of the jaws. Insert the properly stripped
wire visually into the terminal barrel. as shown in Figure 3-4.
5.
Depress the pedal on the Air / Hydraulic pump to activate the
jaws. The crimping process is done in small increments
gradually allowing the press to fully crimp the terminal onto the
wire.
6.
After the terminal is fully crimped, depress the elevated portion
of the pedal to release the pump. This will allow the jaws to
release.
7.
Remove the crimped terminal and inspect for proper crimp
location.
